We spent the last weekend together in Los Angeles baking wedding cakes for some good friends of mine. This was just the time we needed to start working out some details of her wedding because we live nearly 900 miles apart.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The wedding is planned for this coming September, to be held at her mother's country lawn. There are so many fun things we can do with this location, I know it will be a challenge settling on the theme. Can't wait to start helping Tiffany plan the big day!</div>

I was able to work with several extremely crafty bloggers, having them take old pieces of furniture and making them into something new. What fun it was being able to find all the furniture pieces used and seeing their transformation when they came back in the mail. Here are the pages from the article below.<br />

It is a shame I haven't recorded the year the way I out to, so many things happened. Hopefully I will not be so absent this year. First off I need to make new goals for this year! I do know that many of last year's were met despite all my doubts that they were to far out there. Who would have ever thought I would actually leave my home town and move to Brooklyn?! Now what will this year's goals be? I'll get back to you on that. In the mean time...<br />

What a breath taking day it was. not only did we pick apples but also found pears, grapes, and tomatoes. <br />
<br />
I think my favorite part of the day was seeing the view of the Hudson river from my train window. I took my knitting with to keep my hands busy and listened to my Pandora Washed Out radio station. It was a perfect soundtrack to the trip.<br />

I have the day off work today and have been day dreaming what I am going to bake today. It's a quiet rainy day and I am enjoying the sound of the raindrops on the window sills. Isn't that a perfect day to spend in the kitchen? My family came to visit last week and brought much of my kitchen to me so I feel like I can go back to baking once again. Woohoo! It's been a summer of no cooking or baking and if you know me that is a tough thing for me to go without.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to share this video that I found on different ways to frost cupcakes using different tips. Such simple classic looks that anyone should be able to do with just a little practice.<br />
<br />

I hope you have a lovely day and get to spend a little time in the kitchen as well. </div>

The photography for each recipe makes it even easier to follow the directions if you're not a natural born chef.

It's not like I need any more pie though... it goes right to the thighs. But it sure sounds good right?<br />
<br />
Perusing bon appetit's website and they have some deliciously sinful looking pie recipes. Mom just put my issue in the mail for me and I am hoping it is just as inspiring for me. In September I will finally have my kitchen items moved out to me and I can go back to baking. Sadly I've only made one batch of cookies as well as strawberry ice cream this summer. I miss baking!<br />

So maybe you want to take up some pie baking this weekend on your days off and bring over a piece while I'm at the Flea. I would greatly appreciate it!Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05324275133926202467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120255773423377938.post-29521613231338910012011-08-09T00:38:00.000-05:002011-08-09T00:38:48.588-05:00HungryReading food blogs late at night are not always a good idea. I am lying here in bed with a rumbling stomach and looking at delicious foods that are making me salivate. I just really should go to sleep and get a good nights rest so that tomorrow I can go explore more of Brooklyn and enjoy some real food versus dreaming about it.<br />
<br />
Before I go to bed I wanted to share with you quickly the new salad recipe that I found today from <a href="http://www.kinfolkmag.com/">Kinfolk</a>. I made it tonight for the Vegetarians and I and it was a success. I had to change a few ingredients due to the fact the grocery store bellow us didn't have parmesan cheese and I didn't want to spend $13.00 on pine nuts. My revisions where delicious... give it a try for yourself!<br />

Also while I am in the food mode I went and hand dinner at <a href="http://eatgreenpoint.com/">Eat</a> last week with my friend Erica. It was her CSA's night at the restaurant and nearly everything they served us was from her CSA. Delicious food and such a fantastic atmosphere. There was no menu, we just sat down at the table and was served the three course pre-set meal. I have no idea what some of the items I ate or even the names of the dishes but it was good!</div>

This is what the rest of the bedroom design will be based from. Now that I say that I do have a pillow that I received from one of my best friends as a going away present that is headlining all the decisions.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
As you can see, my favored color pallet is gray and white with accents of mustard yellow. The Draper Striped duvet from Dwell Studio has been one of my favorites for the last couple of years and it is on the top of my list but I have one dilemma with it... being the true color is not that of what we've all seen in the catalog and online. I went to see it in person at <a href="http://www.abchome.com/">ABC Home</a> store in Manhattan and was torn and what I had thought was my final decision. The gray being more of a taupe and the yellow being much more gold.<br />

This picture is more true to what the actual color is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
In my disappointment with the color way of the duvet I have searched all over to find something remotely like it. Obviously I've fallen short and am not happy with any of my other finds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Until.... I spotted this duvet! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just ordered it and am hoping not to have a let down once it arrives. The price is AMAZING and so we will see if I get what I paid for. From the description as well as the reviews it is gray and white and has been better then what the customer's have expected, so my fingers are crossed. I was also thinking that if I really want to have a yellow edge around it I can sew it on myself to make it more similar to the Dwell duvet. </div>

Lately I've felt like I've kept my life a little more private and I've enjoyed that. Times got really busy, insanely busy and I had to change. I've stepped back and started new. Along with new I am going to have a new place to live soon and I have been searching for the new decor. I am so excited to have a fresh pallet to decorate! </div>
